Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper also showed signs of superstition for the Broncos during a visit to Pueblo last week. Hickenlooper told a crowd that he would not bet on the Broncos this year because last time he did they lost.

A Pueblo college student who attends the University of Northern Colorado said a speaker in her class last week said he was sending the Broncos bottled water from Greeley because that is the water they used to drink when the team’s training camp was in Greeley.

The superstition factor is a part of the game. It’s the fan’s way of connection to their team.
